History Main / PersonaNonGrata

** Wrestling/VinceMcMahon himself would end up being at the end of this from 2024, the end of a long string of [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor increasingly severe legal battles]], [[TenMinuteRetirement backpedaled retirements]], and thwarted attempts to regain control the company he effectively raised since his heyday, itself a long history of controversy for the former chairman and CEO. The fatal blow came in the form of a lawsuit in January 2024 from ex-employee Janel Grant that accused him of many severe crimes, including sex trafficking and rape, and after he was [[KickedUpstairs forced into minority ownership of WWE]] during its merger with Endeavor the previous year, he was finally forced to retire for good and cut all ties from WWE and TKO Holdings (this being a position he was forced into to prevent a repeat of his TenMinuteRetirement from 2022 where he technically stepped down to dodge ''a different'' sexual harassment lawsuit scandal, but then shortly afterwards forced himself back into the company on grounds of being a majority shareholder). WWE has since taken steps to [[{{Unperson}} remove Vince's name from their current-day brand and deemphasize his history with the company]], with all those remaining in charge of WWE and TKO saying with confidence that he will ''never'' return.

* The first episode of ''WesternAnimation/MonstersAtWork'', an ImmediateSequel TV show to ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', has Mike mention that due to instigating the incident with Boo at Harryhausen's, he and Sulley are forbidden from going back there, though the ban is automatically revoked in the fourth episode as Mike reveals that being the new heads at M.I. has caused the ban reversal.

* Music/BrightEyes has a song of said title, with the singer hoping for reconciliation with the world and for acceptance once again.

* In ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'', the vampire Planeswalker Sorin Markov is still banned from entering the Markov manor. [[IHateYouVampireDad Sorin and his grandfather Edgar really don't get along.]]

* In ''Don't Drink the Water'' by Creator/WoodyAllen, the main character, Axel, is banned from Africa. He laments that while many diplomats have been banned from various countries, he's the only one to have ever been banned from a ''continent''.

* In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', if you end up killing an important fish on Manaan, the planetary authorities ban you from ever coming back. You ''can'' blackmail the authorities and force them to let you return, which is perfectly in line with the previous evil action. On the other hand, if you spare the fish the Selkath are more inclined to be grateful, but if you stretch ImplausibleDeniability too far answering for your actions, they get fed up with your stupidity and give you the boot.
* In ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', Ange mentions briefly that Amakusa will get arrested if he's ever caught back in France.
* Max has something to brag about in the ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' game ''Moai Better Blues'':
-->'''Max:''' ...and I've been banned from 27 local arcades for playing ''Forbidden Dance Insurrection'' in ways that [[NotTheIntendedUse the designers never intended]].
* The conclusion of ''VideoGame/TonyHawksUnderground2'' -- subtitled "World Destruction Tour" -- is a news report, which concludes thus:
-->'''[[PunnyName Hugh Jass]]:''' And finally, Tony Hawk and Bam Margera, the founders of the World Destruction Tour, have been officially banned from ever returning to UsefulNotes/{{Boston}}, Barcelona, Berlin, Australia, UsefulNotes/NewOrleans, and even [[NoodleIncident Thailand]]. Upon hearing the news, Tony and Bam replied, "[[WorthIt Hey, good call]]."

* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach'': Gregory accidentally turns off the lights in the Daycare while grabbing a security badge, turning the Daycare Attendant from Sun to Moon in the process. After several terrifying minutes of evading Moon, he manages to restore the lights. Then Sun, unusually angry, bans him from the area and [[SupportPartyMember calls security.]]
* In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'', Norma [=DePlume=] is banned from the aquarium after writing a book about the death of Azura, an aquarium employee. The ban is lifted at the end of the case.
* ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'': After the events of the first game, Ryunosuke was barred from being allowed to defend in court after having to admit [[spoiler:his oversight of using falsified evidence led to a murderer being acquitted]]. The ban is lifted in ''Resolve'' after the TimeSkip between Case 1-5 and 2-3.

* Georg Prime from the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series used to be a Queen's Knight in Falena, but is no longer welcome in the country because he supposedly killed the previous Queen. [[spoiler:It's true, [[ShootTheDog but she wanted him to do it]] for [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity reasons involving one of the 27 True Runes]]. He's actually on good terms with the current leaders of Falena, and (if the good ending of ''VideoGame/SuikodenV'' is canon) both a friend and ParentalSubstitute to the [[PlayerCharacter Commander of the Queen's Knights]]. [[HeroWithBadPublicity To the public at large, however, he's not welcome]]]].
* At the end of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'', Ezio is banned from Constantinople by [[spoiler:the new Sultan Selim, who notes that it's only because his son Suleiman speaks highly of him that he doesn't just execute him on the spot.]]

* In ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4|A Promise Unforgotten}}'', Fuka Kazamatsuri manages to get herself banned from [[FluffyCloudHeaven Celestia]] forever for insulting [[spoiler:Lady Archangel Flonne]].
* Sora gets exiled from [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Atlantica]] in ''VideoGame/{{Kingdom Hearts|I}}'' due to being a Keyblade wielder, and King Triton is convinced that those with Keyblades bring nothing but ruin to the worlds [[spoiler:thanks to the Keyblade War]].[[labelnote:*]]While at the same time mirroring Triton's opinions of humans from [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1992 the original movie.]][[/labelnote]] After Ursula is defeated, Triton begins to trust Sora, ends the exile, and allows him to seal the keyhole.
* In ''VideoGame/DragonsDogma'', after [[spoiler:slaying [[TheDragon Grigori]] and confronting [[BitchInSheepsClothing Duke Edmun Dragonbane]],]] you get banned from [[spoiler:entering the Upper Gran Soren]], and [[spoiler:[[EverythingTryingToKillYou every last guard will try to kill you]] if you try (except Ser Maximilian [[TakeTheThirdOption if you married him]]), although if you're tough enough, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil you can kill everyone who crosses you]] except the Duke]].

* In ''VideoGame/EightyDays'', if their journey takes them through there, Passepartout manages to get both himself and Fogg banned from Calgary for life for reasons which may or may not actually be his fault (depending on the player's choices during the incident). Strangely, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation this doesn't stop them from being allowed to stay in the city as long as they need to]].
* In ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'', characters have personality quirks that forbid them from benefiting from certain stress-relieving establishments. Some are by personal choice, but in case of Known Cheat and Deviant tastes, they are banned from the gambling hall and the brothel respectively.
* ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}'': Fenchurch Everis was banned from [[PlayerHeadquarters the Tower]] some years ago over [[NoodleIncident some kind of prank that apparently seriously pissed off Commander Zavala]]. He's still considered a Guardian, but now has to operate from places outside the Tower and spends most of his time getting into wacky misadventures throughout the solar system.
* The PlayerCharacter of ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'' can be permanently banned from entering both the Empress' [[DecadentCourt Court]] after finishing its main story, and the University if you choose to [[spoiler:accuse the Provost of Summerset College of the murder you've been investigating]]. Getting welcomed back is now possible for both but not easy.

* The first six games in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series were all made for Nintendo consoles. But while ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' was in development, Squaresoft decided to move it to the [=PlayStation=] because the Nintendo 64 lacked the ability to make the game they had envisioned. Naturally, this shift upset Nintendo. According to one of the developers, Nintendo told Squaresoft, "If you're leaving, never come back". Since then, Squaresoft/[=SquareEnix=] has released Final Fantasy spinoffs on Nintendo platforms, but the only main series games to be released there have been remakes or re-releases of games that had been released on other systems years previously.
* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' has some "Neutral Ending" which shows the fallen child leaving the underground safe and sound after killing some adversaries. Then, the fallen child receives a phone call from Sans, who tells them to not even try coming back there with dreaded expression, especially so if the fallen child has killed either [[spoiler:Papyrus]] or [[spoiler:Toriel]], or both of them. Even if you ''don't'' kill anyone close to him (but still kill at least one adversary) he still [[WhatTheHellHero gives you a bit of an earful]] over your decision and even in the least hostile phone call more or less tells you it'd be best if you never came back anyways. Of course, given that humans weren't even ''supposed'' to be in the Underground anyways (due to the [[GreatOffscreenWar Human-Monster War]] which resulted in the Monsters all sealing themselves underground in the first place), this makes a bit of sense.

* [[http://www.absurdnotions.org/page58.html Punned on]] in ''Webcomic/AbsurdNotions'': After Warren tells his ex-boss Garry that he is sick of Garry's cheesy smile, cheesy banter, and cheesy attitude, and "would appreciate it if [Garry] would remove [his] ''cheesy'' self from [his] home and not return ever again", Garry remarks he's apparently "persona au gratin".
* Fooker from ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'' is such a BigEater that every buffet in town has pictures of him on the wall, because "all you can eat" for him is enough to break a business. Whenever a new one opens up that doesn't know about him yet, they're in for a rough night.
* At one point in ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'', Karl Tagon is in charge of a ship that ends up denied entry into local Earth space; it turns out that ships of that particular type cause a panic attack among government officials, since they think it ''could'' be used as a spotter for a particular type of long-range weapons system (or even have it already installed). As Karl complains to his son Kaff: "I guess we dressed wrong."
-->"I've been bounced for dress code violations before, but at least I got to get drunk first."

* In ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'''s version of ''Super Android 13'', Master Roshi is banned from over 500 Victoria's Secret locations for being a DirtyOldMan.

* In ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', the Mighty Nein end up getting banned from the [[WretchedHive pirate island of Darktow]] ''in less than a day''. Their list of crimes includes [[HonorAmongThieves stealing from other members of the Revelry]], attacking other pirates and burning a ship, and more. They only survive because they uncover evidence that the pirate Avantika is planning to overthrow the Plank King. As thanks, he exiles them instead of handing out executions.
